Overview
At 3,360m, Cerro de Guadalupe rises slightly higher than neighboring Monserrate on Bogotá's eastern ridge. Its summit holds a 15-meter statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe, sculpted by Gustavo Arcila Uribe in 1946, alongside a small chapel and sweeping views over the city. Unlike Monserrate, public transit access is limited, so the hill is mainly open to pilgrims and visitors on Sundays; reach it by bus or taxi from the corner of Calle 6 and Carrera 10 near Parque Tercer Milenio. Entry is free, with Mass donations optional.
Opening Hours
Sundays 07:00-18:00; limited access on other days.
Travel Tips
Access is limited outside Sundays, so confirm the day before you go. Bring a jacket - the altitude makes it noticeably cool.
